reply

I will be curious to see who her favorite Doctor will be. And favorite companions, too.

reply

I’m starting with the reboot (Eccleston) and we’ll go from there.

reply

Cool. Did you watch the Japanese version with subtitles or the English dubbed versions? What did she think of the films? Which was her favourite?

reply

We did the English dubbed versions.

reply

As always, she seemed to genuinely like them all, but her favourites were probably My Neighbour Totoro for the cuteness and Spirited Away for the weirdness.

reply

Awesome!

reply

She’s an awesome young lady 🥰

reply

How far back on Doctor Who are you going?

reply

I’m starting with the reboot (Eccleston) and we’ll go from there.

reply

Please watch Wedding Peach with her, I just know you'll love it!

reply

I shall add it to the watch list.

reply

I'm not entirely serious, Andy. It's actually a tv anime series about magical girls in wedding dresses (although one of my personal favourites!)

reply

I shall move it to the bottom of my watch list.

reply

I WOULD MOVE IT TO MY CLOSET ALONG WITH THE OTHER CREEPY STUFF THAT PEOPLE WATCH WITH THEIR PANTS OFF.

reply

Ok, I’ll move it to that list.

reply

Aw, a Ghibli marathon ft. Kubo. Very cute. Love to do those myself. Which one was her favourite? Personally love Howl's and Nausicaa, which isn't here, but that's okay.

Enjoy DW.

reply

DO I HATE JAPAN?🤔


I OWN MOST OF THOSE AND HAVE WATCHED THEM...AND I DON'T LIKE ANY OF THEM.🤨

reply

It’s my attempt at showing her that there are different ways of telling a story.
